The New Year for the Grade 1 students were loaded with wonderful activities in school. Our Chinese New Year celebration was a fun occa-sion. Clad in their Chinese costumes, the stu-dents spent time giving red packets during the Barongsai and Lion Dance. They also witnessed some of their friends during the Chinese Spelling Bee competition. They also showcased their sing-ing and dancing talents during the program. Their performance was a delight to the audience. Great job! The school also launched the Spelling Bee and Math Quiz Bee. All of the students were given the chance to go through the elimination rounds. After further screening, some students emerged as finalists and competed in the final round of the competition. Congratulations to all the winners! The studentss were also given new lessons in Language Arts namely Gender and Cloze Pas-sage. They were given further practice on Read-ing Comprehension. In Science, the pupils learned about Birds and Mammals. In Geo-History, they learned about Landforms. In Mathe-matics, they have leant about Numbers to 100 (Counting, Place Value, Comparing & Ordering
